Allergies and Sinus Cones™ – Extra
Relief and Improved Airflow
How Do Allergies Differ from Sinus Disease?
Allergies are often confused with sinus
problems, in part, because, like sinus disease they cause nasal
blockage and congestion of the nasal passages due to the swelling
of the nasal lining. They also often lead to sinus infections
because the symptoms may obstruct the little sinus openings in
the same manner as sinus disease. (see sinusitis)
Although the sensation of nasal stuffiness
may be similar the primary symptoms and difference in allergic
rhinitis, at least at the first stages of allergies, is the thin
clear watery post nasal drip, sneezing, “allergic shiners” around
the eyes, itching and congestion of the nasal membrane, versus
facial pressure, low-grade fever, and thick colored nasal discharge
and mucus that is present with sinus disease infection.
Sinus Cones™ Open Airflow – Seasonal
and Year-Round Relief
When allergies occur with regularity each
year due to seasonal allergies, Sinus Cones™ provide the extra boost to your medication
needed for healthy, all-night breathing relief. Sinus Cones™ can
help to insure that your sinuses are ventilated so that the little
sinus openings are not blocked by allergy congestion and sinusitis
is avoided.
For allergies that manifest throughout the
year, and strike without regularity, Sinus Cones™ provide
reliable on-demand (when kept bedside) immediate relief to reduce
nasal stuffiness that accompanies the occasional flare up so
that the need for medication is reduced.
Nasal allergies tend to run in families,
so if one parent has allergies, the child has a 30% to 50% chance
of having allergy problems. When both parents have allergies,
the chance of heredity allergy problems is 70%. Sinus Cones™, available in small,
medium and large, comfortably size all family member’s noses. |
